sometimes i imagine i am alone in the world. i guess it would be like in this picture. silent and noone around :)

Wow. Incredible image, Dave. Looks like an infinite field of fog. Absolutely amazing! The composition is fantastic... the sand fence leading the eye to the horizon beautifully.

WOW. AWESOME photo. Love the gradient sky and the soft ground.

Simply Awesome. That is all I can say about that.

Beautiful.

Soooooo nice.

As I recently returned from England, I was struck at the gorgeous amount of light both in quality and quantity. I love in this shot how the horizon line to foreground goes from smooth (the timed exposure) to detailed (the rocks and jetty). this is also mimicked in the transition from the sky (smooth) to clouds (detailed). Well Done!!

This is beautiful. The colors merging at the horizon. I love it. And Congratulations on the Time.com acknowledgment. Certainly deserved!

I've been going to about three favourite photoblogs each day for about a month, and I find myself quite frequently dissapointed -- but it's rare that you do. Very surreal, very wicked.

Excellent shot!

Lovely colours in the sky.

I've been visitin' your blog frequentyl and I must say that i realy love your photos, especialy this one ;) Keep it good work

Just beautiful, what else to say. I like how you used 30s exposure time to get such beautiful colours and effects.

Dave, posting this as a continuation of yesterday's comments...

Here is the link to Time Magazine, where Chromasia was listed as one of the "50 Coolest Websites". It's under the blogs section, but you can see the name in the cover graphic.

Congrats

Dave, scratch my last, guess I should have read the top of this first...

Beautiful colors. Nice job.

Beautiful sunset.

David-

A beautiful shot; I really like your long-exposures.

This color range really appeals to me for some reason. Nice work as always.

Mike

wonderful photo, I love it! Congrats on making it into time :)

Hi,

I'm yet another frequent visitor. I just love your photographs and the conversations that go along with them. Thank you for sharing them this way.

very nice... don't you wish you had that 10-22?

Congrats on the recognition, Dave.

This image kicks ass.

It's still light at 2322!! Boy am I jealous. We've just had Winter Solstice and it is cold and dark :o( Lovely picture by the way. It is so calming.

stunning colours

Exquisite!

Utter Rubbish - you have failed to capture my imagination with this shot and I waited all day to see it.

Let's wait until tonight and I will show you all about night shots.

Ha, Ha, did I get you going for a second - Wonderful

John

30 seconds... good shot, especially the clarity of the sky.

Congratulations on the time.com listing, I think you certainly are in my top 50...

Beyond the sky

Amazing shot Dave, great colours. It looks like a field of mist going all the way to the horizon.

Wow...

And congrats on the time.com listing, that's fabulous!

Absolutely superb photo - great colours and the water looks amazing. Well done.

I'm not sure if you've seen this (but I can't imagine you would have missed it), you made Time's top 50 coolest websites for 2005: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1072872,00.html#chromasia

Congratulations!

And that's what I get for not reading the caption before posting... sorry about that :-)

50 coolest, indeed. One of the few I stalk daily.

I love long-exposures involving water... Congrats for the place in the Time list. You really deserve it.

I am a day too late, but I suppose it's never too late to congratulate somebody on a job well done. I just read the post on photoblogs.org. Congrats David.

This one definitely looks like something not of this world.

I enjoyed that last few shots of your girls. 'Somewhat impish' reminded me of Chuckie from the old horro classic Child's Play. Don't take that the wrong way. Your kid is super cute otherwise! ;)

Take care.

Absolutely well-deserved notoriety you have achieved - many congrats!

The blues in this image are just perfect.

Totally cool that "chromasia.com" was even on the little cartoon graphic that went with the TIME article! This shot is way cool, bytheway.

Hi Dave,
I love chromasia, I discovered your site about a month ago and I am addicted.
I sometimes shoot as well (never anything like yours) but I keep coming into noisy images. particularily when I shoot something like this one (with lots of sky).
I use a Panasonic FZ20... Is the noise due to the quality of the camera?
How do you prevent noise on digital?

I am sorry if this doesn't fit into a good comment, I just think there is a lot to learn form a pro.

Thanks and again, you are an awesome photographer.

Wonderful photograph, Dave. I'm a little curious as to what makes up the bottom part of the photograph -- it stands out from the smooth water surface.

Thanks everyone.

John: yes, the 10-22 would be nice, but I'd rather have a 1Ds mkII to use my 17-40 on ;-)

Eli: try Noise Ninja.

Dhwanit: it's a groin, to stop the sand being swept from the beach.

Food for many a daydreaming feast...I love how there is no real reference point/perspective to identify the photographer'sscale in all this - could be a landing pad on Neptune for all i know :-)

so nice......tranquil..loose ur tension and be careless, no worries. u don't leave for anyone but for this aesthetic nature's beauty- that's the feeling i get by lookin at this picture

soooo nice!!!

suseu to put it bluntley......shut up and stop trying to get attention, stop living in a world of self pitty and grow the hell up! Ive been where you are and know how you feel, but its time u smack yourself and get on with things
